Hi all:
=20
I sent this one through to DNR to address. I've never heard of terns nesti=
ng on a boat before=2C but I guess there is a first time for everything. I=
thought that I would share the body of the email for interests sake.
=20
I was wondering if you could help us or tell us who could. We have a pair o=
f Common Terns that have decieded to nest in some rolled up rope on the fro=
nt of our cape island boat. Last Sunday ( 19th ) there was one egg in the =
rope nest. They didn't follow the boat when we we took it=2C but they were =
waiting for for us when we came back. We haven't been out since then but I =
can see they are still there.
=20
I have read that it takes the eggs 3 weeks to hatch. The web site also said=
they leave the nest within a couple of days of hatching but don't fly for =
3 to 4 weeks. So they would be running around the boat and could fall off.=
Also how can they teach them how to fly on a boat without falling in the w=
ater? It just does seem possible to leave them there. Do you think we could=
move the eggs to shore along with our rope for their nest? Or maybe wait t=
ell they hatch and move them then. Plus if we every get a sunny day we woul=
d like to be able to use the boat.
